MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT Suitability of Employees for Overseas
Service -- Roles of the Overseas
Candidate Review Panel and the Agent
Panel
I. Your memorandum on the above subject is in general accord
with our recent discussion and I have signed it.
2. There are, however, two minor points that I would like
to bring to your attention:
a. I note you refer to "all cases where employees
are returned from their overseas assignments prior to
completion of a full tour of duty." I believe the
Inspector General was speaking about employees returned
from overseas for "misconduct and related reasons."
I presume therefore that you would not consider it
necessary that post mortems be conducted in regard to
those people who have returned prior to a completion
of full tour for approved operational or cover reasons.
b. An occasional Staff Agent review may involve
extremely sensitive targets or the use of a given cover
Instrument with high sensitivity. Should these
exceptional instances occur, I would prefer that the
review be conducted by the Agent Panel. There will not
be many of these cases and most of the Staff Agent
reviews can be conducted by the Overseas Candidate Review
Panel as you suggest.
3. The Staff Agent Panel has been instructed to proceed
with reviews in relation to Career Agents, Contract Agents and
Consultants. Since there are less than a dozen of the latter,
there will be little occasion to conduct reviews relating to
that category.
4. Your memorandum can go forward unless you wish to
modify it to include the foregoing. If not, and If you agree
with my views, your separate concurrence with my suggestions
